A Koala eats a certain type of leaf from a Eucalyptus Tree. These trees are becoming less and less common. What will happen if the Koala can't adapt to a new food source?

• The Koala population may increase as the strongest ones survive and reproduce

• The Koala bear may become extinct if they can not find new food to eat

• the Koala population will stay the same as long as they stay in a restricted space

• The Koala bear's genes will immediately change and allow them to survive
